Math Lesson: Social Media Metrics
1. Engagement
@yamallaminee
During UEFA Euro 2024, Lamine’s TikTok videos received 170 million views
Question
If 10% of the viewers liked the videos and 2% commented, how many likes and comments did he receive?
*Solution - Likes: \(170,000,000 \times 0.1 = 17,000,000\). - Comments: \(170,000,000 \times 0.02 = 3,400,000\).
2. Growth
– If Lamine’s social media following grew by 25% after the tournament, and he had 10 million followers before, how many followers does he have now?
- Solution: - Growth: \(10,000,000 \times 0.25 = 2,500,000\). - Total: \(10,000,000 + 2,500,000 = 12,500,000\).

– Barcelona → Paris (France): 830 km.
Question:
What is the total distance Lamine traveled for these matches?
Solution: \(620 + 3,700 + 1,500 + 830 = 6,650 \, \text{km}\).
2. Flight Duration:
– If Lamine’s average flight speed is 800 km/h, how long does it take to fly from Barcelona to Tbilisi?
